Before Christian Science came into my life I was without God, without a church, and had no hope of any satisfaction in human experience. My conclusions as to the riddle of existence were based upon observation of the world about me. Those who had obtained their objective ideals in various directions in human affairs, were still groping in the dark, unhappy and dissatisfied in spite of ambitions apparently fulfilled. With this in constant view it appeared that any material effort on my part, in whatever direction, would prove aimless and hollow, absolutely empty, pointless, and vain.
While I was drifting along in such wise, but still cherishing the desire for good and its right manifestation, Christian Science presented itself for investigation, and here I found God's opportunity, which was immediately accepted, and my quest was ended. With Truth found I at once commenced the study of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and I began to find the Bible, which hitherto had been a sealed book, full of promise and hope. Various healings in the family at this juncture made it evident that the teachings of Christian Science were unfolding and the revelation thus seen proved the truth of Jesus' promise: "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.''— Pain Alto, California.
